This book focuses on solutions, not problems. The authors help you to imagine a future when drinking is not a problem, using their "miracle picture" technique, and to specify small, concrete, obtainable goals that will make that future a reality. While staying away from providing specific drink limits and amounts, this book helps you to recognize and to increase the times you are "doing things right." Filled with many question and answer exercises. "This book can help you quit focusing on the problem, and get into action." -Audrey Kishline, founder MM.
